Space Sushi

Thanks to freeze-dried scallops and tuna, astronauts aboard the International Space Station enjoyed a snack of sushi that was out of this world – literally. Naoko Yamazaki and Soichi Noguchi were shown in photos issued by NASA enjoying sushi. Float away grains of rice were caught with their mouths mid-air. No word was mentioned whether or not shoyu, wasabi and pickled ginger were served with the space sushi.

Here’s a fun thought. If you could create sushi to eat in space, what ingredients would you most like to use?

I’d bring along smoked duck and dried cherries. It’s very untraditional but wouldn’t it be fun to start a new space tradition?
